It is my great pleasure to invite competitors from the Balkan countries to come to Ohrid on the 16th
Balkan Seniors Championship.
FYR of Macedonija is the traditional host major sporting events such as this competition. Bring
together the whole Balkan in one place; it is a great honor and responsibility for Karate Federation of
Balkan.
Accepting the organization of this tournament Karate Federation of Balkan wants to show everyone
how karate is positive, mass and popular sport.
We hope that all participants will see and feel the energy, knowledge and hospitality of our hosts. This
event is more than just a competition. It will be a combination of friendship, art, and karate.
I am convinced that FYR of Macedonija and Ohrid, as many times before, are ready to justify the trust.
I wish that this event, for all participants and for the karate sport, be seen as wordless dialogue in the
spirit of sport philosophy. Karate speaks all languages and connects all people and generations,

Dragan Stojanovski, President of Karate Federation of Macedonija
Dear athletes,
Dear guests,
th
I have the honor and pleasure to wish warm welcome to all participants in the 16 Balkan
Karate Championship to be held in Ohrid. We, as KFM will make all efforts for this to be one
spectacular and unforgettable competition, for which we have the great support from the state bodies,
which gives us even more energy for our efforts to promote karate in the best possible way. Proof for
the image of KFB within the international public is the President of WKF himself, Mr. Antonio Espinoz,
who by attending this championship will make it an even more remarkable event. This being the case,
while we are part of an especially important period, when the karate globally from day to day improves
its position that will reach its peak on the First European Games in Baku, which is just one station
closer to the entry in the program of the Olimpic Games, while the Balkan Championship is now the
main test for all participants expecting the World Championship in Bremen. For all of us this is one
pleasant but yet huge obligation that will be fulfilled with the highest possible quality by all karatekas
from Macedonia and the many enthusiasts and volunteers as well. All of us in KFB need this,
especially in this period when we are reorganizing our community, that according to the level of
development of the karate and the quality of the athletes from the Balkan region is among the most
respected regions in Europe and in the world.
Ohrid has not been accidentally chosen to host this big event. Known as the “Balkan
Jerusalem”, Ohrid is the city of the Slavic literacy. The city of St. Clement and St. Naum, abounding
cultural and historical monuments including the churches, monasteries and mosques dating from
many centuries back, the city under the protection of UNESCO, with the unique Ohrid Lake is one of
the top tourist destinations in Europe. Besides that its long traditions of organizing important cultural
and sports events is yet another guarantee for successful organization of the Balkan Championship.
From the Antique Theater that has witnessed many concerts and sports events, through the
waters of the Ohrid Lake where for 60 years now we have been welcoming the swimming marathon as
part of the World Cup, to the sports complex “Biljanini Izvori” that in the past few years was hosting
continental championships in several sports, many athletes fondly remember the great memories of
their careers. We strongly believe that this will also be the case with the best karate athletes from the
Balkan, who whenever remembering their short stay in Ohrid, will always wish to come back.
th
Thus, to all the participants in the 16 Balkan Championship on behalf of KFM I wish great
success, and to all our guests, I wish them to enjoy their pleasant stay in the City of Ohrid.

WELCOME TO OHRID
This is not a story, but a reality, an eternal one, and one which so far no one has managed to retell.
Probably no one hasn’t even tried. There are several places in this world which simply cannot be
retold. When standing in front of their monuments, the remains of the civilization of old, and the
temples where you forget your identity, the only thing your intellect allows you is respect and
contemplation, thinking of the things that are yet to be discovered and explored. Here in Ohrid the
smartest and the wisest and the most powerful people throughout the centuries had only one goal – to
leave at least their mark. Ohrid simply couldn’t be conquered, but it would immediately become the
seat of the most powerful men and it would continue to live its life where the conqueror entering the
city wouldn’t charge in, but bow to the city.
Today it is the same. In Biblical Macedonia, every path leads to Ohrid. The person coming to Ohrid is
at first amazed, and afterwards, deep within his soul, bows to its marks, which simply encourage you
to understand or maybe to wonder – why certain places have been chosen to be different, praised and
unique in the whole world.

That’s what Ohrid is like, the ancient Lihnidos, whose fortress is mentioned for the first time by the
historian Livius, way back in the third century B.C. According to explorers, this is where apostle Paul
has resided on his journey dedicated to teaching and spreading the faith in Christ.
Ohrid is the center of Christianity for all Slavs, an archbishopric seat, a seat of schools and
universities, the first ones in this region, and even further. Today Ohrid remains a center of
archaeological sites and discoveries. Ohrid is the city of 365 churches. One church for each day of the
year.
This fact has been evidenced in the 14th century by Evliya Çelebi in his travel books, and in the
Middle Ages Ohrid has been called the Slavic Jerusalem.
The city of the first cave-churches in this region, where one forgets time and space and receives
unique answers. The city where monasticism laid its wisdom and God His divine wisdom.

OHRID - THE CITY OF CENTURIES
The shores of Lake Ohrid have been inhabited since prehistoric times. Archaeological findings speak
of settlements form the Neolithic period (the early Stone Age) 6.000 years B.C. A Neolithic settlements
rich in archaeological material have been discovered dating from this period in the level part of Ohrid
in its northern suburb of Dolno Trnovo.The archeological excavations dating May 2006 (by the
archeologist Pasko Kuzman) certify that there were prehistoric pile dwellings on the lake coast in the
center of Ohrid. According to the archeological excavations of a pile dwelling discovered between the
tourist school and the ‘Ohridati’ settlement, and according to the archeologist Pasko Kuzman, this
prahistoric settlement existed 5000 years B.C., implying that it is as ancient as 7000 years. According
to historical sources, the earliest known inhabitants of the Ohrid Lake region were Brigians and
Ohrygians and Enhelians, the latter dominating for a long time. They, according to Herodotus and
Apollodorus, were not Illyrians but were their closest neighbours. Later on are mentioned Desaretes in
this area and of the town of Lychinidos as the capital of Desaretia.
In the 1st millennium B.C. there existed for several centuries a powerful settlement, whose name is
unknown today, in the vicinity of today’s international airport, some dozen kilometers to the north of
Ohrid. Rich archaeological findings have been discovered there: golden masks, golden sandals,
golden bracelets, bronze craters, etc. These have come from the princely tombs in the widely known
Trebeniste necropolis.
The existence of the ancient town of Lychnidos (today’s Ohrid) is linked to the legend of the
Phoenician Cadmus who, banished from Thebes, in Beoetia, fled tothe Enhelians and founded the
town of Lychnidos on the shores of Lake Ohrid.
Around the middle of the 4th century B.C. Lychnidos (as Ohrid was then known or called) and the
settlements on the shores of the Lake Ohrid were seized by Philip II of Macedon. After conquering
these regions in 148 B.C. the Romans built the Via Egnatia linking present-day Durres (Durazzo) with
Salonica and Constantinople via Lychnidos.

With the spread of Christianity, which began to penetrate these regions towards the end of the 3rd
century, the classical shrines were gradually destroyed and replaced by monumental early Christian
churches, fragments of which have been discovered in several spots in Ohrid and its surroundings.
The first Christian missionary to come to Lychnidos was Erasmus of Antioch. Records say that in the
5th century this town was the seat of the bishops of Lycnidos. In the 6th century, when Lychnidos was
part of the Byzantine Empire, the Slavs began crossing the Danube and penetrating the Balkan
Peninsula. A Slavic tribe called Brsjaci settled in the region of Lychnidos.
The name Ohrid is first mentioned in a protocol issued by the Assembly of Constantinople in 879. It is
believed to have been derived from the Slavic words - vo hrid - “on a hill” - since the old town of Ohrid
stands on the crest of a hill. Kliment and Naum, the two best - known disciples of the missionary
brothers Cyril and Methodious of Salonica, came to Ohrid after the failure of their mission and their
banishment from Moravia.
Kliment was the first to come (886) and Naum joined him fourteen years later in (893) in the district of
Kutmicevica, which borders on present day Macedonia, Albania and Greece and which comprises
Ohrid and now vanished towns of Devol and Glavenica. With their arrival, Ohrid developed into a
leading center of Slavic cultural and literary activity.
Kliment spent thirty years among the Macedonian Slavs. The first Ohrid literary school was founded at
his monastery church of St. Pantalejmon in Ohrid, (built in 893). The 3500 pupils who came out of this
school spread the Slavic script, culture, art and church singing across several Slav landsas far as Kiev
in mediaeval Russia. By the end of the 9th century and beginning of 10 th century the Slavic literacy,
spirituality and culture were founded. Ohrid was a center of Slavic literacy, spirituality and culture.
Ohrid has a disserved place in the spreading of the Slavic spirituality in Europe and across the world,
especially in the process of evangelism of the Slavic Christian East. Itactually begins on the shores of
Lake Ohrid by the engagement of St. Kliment Ohridski and St. Naum Ohridski.
The process of evangelism of the Slavic East by implementing Slavic words and Slavic church service
began in Ohrid. It was spread through the Bulgarian Preslav to Kiev and Moscow, to the Far East in
Asia, to the coast of the Indian Ocean, from Vladivostok on the south to the Kamcatka penincula on
the north in present Russia.
Long after the death of Kliment in 916 and Naum in 910, the Ohrid literary school continued to be a
source of manuscripts invaluable for Slavic studies and the history of art. This school began work on
Macedonian soil in the 9th century and was a loyal adherent of the Glagolitic alphabet. Some of the
most valuable Slavic manuscripts dating from the period up to the 12th century, when the Glagolitic
alphabet was supplanted by the Cyrillic are attributed to it.

Samuel’s Empire, the first Macedonian Midevial state had its genesis in the Ohrid region. Around the
middle of the 10th century, a Slav prince, Nikola, and his sons David, Aron, Moses and Samuel rose
first against Bulgarian rule in 976.
Samuel emerged at the helm of the mediaeval Macedonian state. Macedonia was the heart of this
empire, which limits were constantly extended during the Emperor Samuel’s reign which lasted for
nearly four decades, until they reached as far as the rivers Danube and Sava, the Bay of Corinth and
the Adriatic Sea. During the reign of Samuel (976 - 1014) and his successors, Gavrilo Radomir and
Jovan Vladislav up to 1018, first Prespa and thenOhrid were the imperial capitals.
After Samuel’s defeat on Mount Belasica in 1014, the Byzantine Emperor Basil II captured 14 000 of
his soldiers and after blinding them, but leaving each hundredth soldiers with one eye, he returned
them to Samuel. Samuel’s successors were unable to control the vast empire and soon afterwards, in
1018, it suffered total defeat. Emperor Basil II, on capturing Ohrid, ordered the city ramparts to be
demolished and Samuel’s imperial family was taken prison. The patriarchate Ohrid was reduced to the
rank of an archbishopric.
The period of the archbishopric, whose jurisdiction extended over a vast territory from the Danube to
the walls of the city of Salonica and the Adriatic Sea, was a particular chapter in the history of
mediaeval Ohrid. Wishing to retain its influence over the Macedonian Slavs, the Court at
Constantinople appointed as head of the Ohrid archbishopric the most influential and capable church
dignitaries: writers and philosophers, learned theologians and poets. Thus Ohrid developed into a
prosperous town which attracted some of the best-known painters andarchitects of the period.
In the 11th century, Leo, one of the most outstanding supporter of the Orthodox Church was appointed
Archbishop of Ohrid. Ohrid’s cathedral St. Sophia (Holy Wisdom) was reconstructed and decorated
according to the ideas of Archbishop Leo.
After the Crusaders took Constantinople in 1204, the archbishops of Ohrid were appointed from
among local church dignitaries, who eventually proclaimed the complete independence of the
Archibishopric of Ohrid, having found legal ground for this in Justinian’s legal acts. This enables the
archbishop of Ohrid, Demetrius Homatian, a distinguished mediaeval orator and writer - author of the
“Short Life of Kliment of Ohrid” to crown the Byzantine despot, Theodore Comnenus, as emperor
despite the violent opposition of the patriarch of Constantinople.
The Archbishopric of Ohrid had its patrons and its own specific cults and later sponsored its own
painter’s workshops. The founders of Ohrid’s churches were not only nobles from abroad, but included
local churchmen and abbots of the monastery of St. Kliment. The cult of Kliment and Naum was
particularly strong and both are portrayed in the most conspicuous areas of the church walls.
In 15th and 16th centuries, the jurisdiction of the Archbishopric of Ohrid was expanded to include new
territories in the Balkans and the Mediterranean. In the 16th century, the Archbishopric extended its
authority to the Orthodox colonies on Malta, Apulia, Calabria, Sicily, Venice and Dalmatia.
The Archbishopric of Ohrid was abolished and incorporated into the Patriarchies of Constantinople in
1767 at the order of the Turkish Sultan Mustapha III.

The Ohrid Archbishopric was restored at the Second Church and People’s Council in Ohrid, in 1958,
and now bears the name of the Macedonian Orthodox Church.
The Ottoman Turks held Ohrid from the end of the 14th century to the beginning of the 20th century
from 1395 to 1912. At first the Turkish sultans helped the Archbishopric of Ohrid to expand its
jurisdiction. But this changed after 1466, when a number of distinguished citizens of Ohrid had
assisted an uprising launched against Turkish domination by the legendary Albanian warrior
Skenderbay. In consequence, Archbishop Dorotheus and a number of churchmen and wealthy local
men were forcibly removed from Ohrid on the Sultan’s orders and died as prisoners.
At the turn of the 19th century, Ohrid was a powerful economic and cultural center. Its leather
workshops exported their goods to several European cities, Constantinople, Salonica, Leipzig and
Vienna and there was a fresh upstage of building activity and woodcarvers and painters flocked to the
city from the surroundings of Debar.
In the latter half of the 19th century, neighboring Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia fought for domination
over Macedonian territory.
Ohrid at the begining of the 20th century In the wake of abolition of the Archbishopric of Ohrid and its
incorporation into the Patriarchies of Constantinople in 1767, there was a period of Hellenising
influence on Ohrid’s cultural life. Resistance to Greek spiritual domination became particularly
vigorous following the nomination in 1860 of the notorious Bishop Melentius as Metropolitan of Ohrid.
The first to rise against Greek cultural influence was a prominent Macedonian educator, Dimitrie
Miladinov, a native of Struga and a teacher of the Macedonian poets Grigor Prlicev and Rajko
Zinzifov. He was poisoned in a prison in Constantinople together with his brother, the poet Konstanin
Miladinov.
In Ohrid the movement of progressive Macedonians against spiritual enslavement by Greece came
under the leadership of the poet Grigor Prlicev, author of the epics “Serdarot” and “Skenderbay”. After
Ohrid 2014

16th Balkan Seniors Championship
his epic “Serdarot” had won a prize on a competition in Athens in 1860, he received an offer to go to
study at Oxford, but turned it down and returned to his native Ohrid.
The struggle against Greek cultural domination triumphed in the end and, by a decree of Sultan
passed in 1869. Greek schools in Ohrid were closed down.
In the honor of the great literate, in the old part of Ohrid was built a memorial museum - the house of
Grigor Prlicev.
Revolutionary activity to prepare the people for an armed rising took an organized form in the district
of Ohrid in 1894. On the night of August 2, 1903, a large-scale rebellion known as the Ilinden Uprising
was staged with the active support of the population throughout Macedonia.
Its impact, as subsequent developments were to show, was felt far beyond Macedonia. The Ottoman
Turkish military authorities quickly reacted with heavy reprisals and the Ohrid branch of the
revolutionary organization ordered the evacuation of the rural population to the mountains of the
region of Rashanec (northeast of Ohrid). They endured the onslaughts of the far superior Turkish
armed forces until the end of August of the same year, when Rashanec became the common grave of
a large number of women, children and old people as well as insurgents.
From 1912, when Ottoman Turkish rule finally come to an end, until 1915, Ohrid was under the
administration of Serbia.
Between 1918 and 1941 it was a part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. From 1915 to 1918, during the
First World War and again in the Second World War, it was under the Bulgarian rule.
Ohrid was liberated on November 7, 1944. Since then, Ohrid has been a part of Macedonia in the past
six decades and has greatly prospered. It has become an important tourist resort, made significant
steps in the development of tourism industry and now has an extensive network of educational,
cultural, medical and other institutions.

SPORT VENUE – SPORT CENTRES "BILJANINI IZVORI"
The Centre for sport & recreation “Biljanini Izvori” (Biljana’s Springs) disposes with many possibilities
for sport and recreation of all interested citizens, guests and sport associations. It is located at the exit
of Ohrid in the mountain base of Galicica, above see level of 695 m, with ideal climate conditions
during the whole year (232 sunny days in year). The infrastructure of the Centre for sport & recreation
creates excellent conditions for professional and recreational use, as well as possibilities for
organising cultural, music and other alternative events.
The Sports Arena with the last improvements has gotten its long awaited multifunctionality, so now
except the content that was offered for team sports (basketball, handball, volleyball and small football),
it disposes with new small arena, which is convenient for training and recreation with the individual
sports (karate, fighting, taekwondo). Also, the Sports Arena disposes with teretana and sauna, as well
as with ping-pong room, with two modern ping-pong tables. After the construction of man-made rock
(which is in progress), this content would be offered, too.
